Abstract

Summary Fourteen taxa exhibited the characteristics of CAM pathway. Bryophyllum tubiflorum, Bryophyllum calycinum, Bryophyllum crenatum, Agave americana, Opuntia coccinellifera, and Sansevieria roxburghiana contained significant activities of NADP-malic enzyme. Euphorbia neriifolia, Euphorbia tirucalli, Euphorbia trigona, Pedilanthus tithymaloids, Polianthes tuberosa, Aloe vera and Cissus quadrangularis possessed higher activities of PEP-carboxykinase whereas the three species of Bryophyllum had substantial quantities of both NADP and NAD-malic enzyme. The results were discussed in relation to the mechanism of the operation of CAM pathway.
